So what did we learn?
Assessing your progressMake sure you have measurable goals in your plans.
Include goals that you want to achieve. Don’t waste your time on feel good goals.
Engage the whole organization in achieving the goals, especially your elected officials and your boss.
Connect the goals to what the agency delivers, or get ready to spend time turning the ship.
Communicate the Progress!!Talk with your community about the results, good or bad.
Publish quarterly and annual reports that are interesting.
Make sure your elected officials know.
Reporting Progress
Reassessing Your Progress
Check in during regular time frame.
Are your efforts achieving the desired outcome?
What is the next phase of the plan?
Most importantly
Find the opportunities to
celebrate the successes and
make sure to share the glory!
